On June 25, 2003 Charmaine Holbrook was in a car accident when another driver hit her head-on. Charmaine was 37 weeks pregnant at the time and her baby, Sady Raelynn, died on impact and was stillborn.

Charmaine's trauma multiplied when she learned, under the law, a person could be charged with killing a pregnant mother, but not the death of her unborn child.

In September 2003, Charmaine went to Frankfort to endorse a Fetal Homicide Bill. She teamed up with State Representative Stan Lee, of Lexington, to fight for a bill that would allow the prosecution of someone who killed a fetus.

Charmaine says she is overjoyed with the amount of support the bill had, including Laci Peterson's mother, Sharon Roca. Roca even wrote a letter to Representative Lee.

Abortions are specifically exempt under the law, which will be publicly signed into law on February 25, 2004.
